Notes

This person got a doctorate in psychology by interviewing 1 person—themselves!

The abstract begins: "Hello, darling. Welcome. What follows is an embodied unfurling, stutter, and flow of the intersections of my gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. It’s a tale of one body, throughout four cities, in five parts as an autoethnography."

At the end of the abstract, the author claims the primary psychology literature "does not reflect most of me and therefore has very little place here." The author therefore argues that being "expected to justify experiences, observations, and ideas by citing respectable professionals legitimized by a violent institution" is "an invalidation based in white supremacist epistemic injustice."

So this "violent institution," Point Park University, just gave this person a doctorate in a field that they completely reject and openly mock. Amazing.
